Veoh, FEARnet Strike Content Partnership

PHILADELPHIA/SAN DIEGO, January 24: FEARnet, a horror and
thriller website and VOD service, has inked a deal to bring its content to Veoh
Networks, the Internet video service backed by former Disney chief Michael
Eisner, with the two companies set to share ad revenue.

FEARnet, which launched in 2006, is a Comcast/Lionsgate/Sony
Pictures Television joint venture. Beginning in early February, the service
will launch a branded Internet TV channel on Veoh, which will feature a mix of
hit titles—such as 30
Days of Night: Blood Trails, Devil’s Trade and Buried Alive—feature films, celebrity interviews and coverage from horror
conventions. FEARnet is also currently developing a slate of new original
programming for 2008 to be featured on its Veoh channel.

“FEARnet
has already seen great success with Veoh,” said Diane Robina, the president of
FEARnet. “Our first two shows on Veoh generated over 1 million views in only
two weeks, so we are thrilled to build an even deeper content syndication and
programming relationship with them. By creating a dedicated channel on Veoh,
we’re making it easy for Veoh’s viewers to find and watch our original
programming and cult-classic horror and thriller feature films.”

“We know that millions of Veoh
viewers love horror, so this partnership gives FEARnet a unique opportunity to
connect with and build an even larger audience for its content online,” said
Jennifer Betka, the senior VP of marketing and programming for Veoh Networks.
“With the addition of FEARnet’s programming, Veoh now offers viewers the
broadest array of cable and network television shows, film content, independent
web productions and popular videos on the Internet.”
